We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Microsoft Power BI based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Predictive Analytics solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The analytics are easy."
"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"All of the data science features in terms of unioning and joining data together are valuable."
"I like the fact that you can easily blend data from different platforms."
"The Alteryx designer has been the most useful feature in the solution."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"Microsoft BI's initial setup is very straightforward."
"The reports are easy to create."
"We have a lot of servers and applications from which we want reports, and it allows us to create reports from an SQL source or some other source."
"The interface is very fluid."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The scalability overall has been quite good."
"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."
"It has greatly improved our reporting capabilities."
"The screen when you are looking into your workflows and your ETL processes needs to be improved. You cannot manage it very well."
"The data integration component could most likely be improved to increase enterprise scalability."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"The interface could be improved."
"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."
"We are hoping that the NLP features will also support Chinese characters."
"The solution just lacks in terms of data visualization. That is why we use Tableau and Qlik in our organization. They help to pick up the slack. If data visualization was added, Alteryx would be a very good tool, and much more complete."
"Trend data and dashboards need improvement."
"Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata."
"Needs single sign-on."
"The upgrade process could be improved."
"Defining a relationship was very confusing. There were circular directions for which I had to do a lot of adjustments in the data. They can do something to make it easier."
"I would like Microsoft to include some inbuilt machine learning so that it becomes point-and-click, rather than us developing models out of API and BI connecting to that and getting the results. That process gets in the way of continuity."
"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."
"I would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."
